FALLBROOK, CALIF. — MUD-SLINGERS. Because this community 50 miles north of San Diego isn't a city, it doesn't have a mayor. But it does have an honorary mayor, and three candidates slugged it out Saturday to see who could fling mud pies the farthest. Alfred Canchola, a carpenter, won. The chamber of commerce has turned the race into a fund-raiser. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 9 candidates offer votes for sale for $1, with proceeds going to the chamber. The candidate who pulls in the most votes is honorary mayor for a year. The losers Saturday -- Patti Seim and Carol Morgan --had to forfeit $25 in votes to the victor. The winner will be announced Sept. 21.
